Speaker 1 (00:00):
Question to start off the podcast today, Bailey, have a
question for me?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah, go ahead, Yeah, how do you like my sweatshirt today?
Do you like it?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
You know, it's it's it's a little more faded than
I think that you should wear, and it's kind of
baggy looking and ugly. But other than that, I hate it.
So No. The question you were asking me a little
while ago was why you mean a little bit bitch?
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I thought you would be a bitch.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I thought you were setting me up for the our bitch.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I appreciate that. No, you're you're a good improv cohort.
Let's get into the Minnesota goodbye. So I'm gonna start off.
Remember yesterday the woman wrote in and said, Hey, I'd
love to come by your show and and hang out
with you guys, And we're lonely and we're totally down
with that. So we're working out with Emily to come
by the show. She's going to be in town for
a funeral and then she's gonna come by on Monday.
(00:51):
Is it a little pathetic that we'll just welcome anybody
like into our radio home here?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
No, No, it's not pathetic at all. It makes us
feel good about ourselves because they get excited to be here,
and we're like, is it exciting to be here?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Now? Remember, Emily, when you come, we hope you will
tell the story of I'll repeat it. She says, I'm
going through divorce currently with someone who's struggling with some
pretty major mental health issues. It's making me feel like
a terrible person for abandoning, and while he's struggling, it
would be interesting to hear your listener's perspectives and insight
as well as yours. So when she comes, we'll I'll
(01:22):
find out what time she's coming in on the live show.
So yesterday follow up also Patty, who gave me the
nature journaling idea. I found a journal that I had
never written in in a box and I pulled it
out and I said, this is my nature journal. So
I'm going to look up nature journaling and get some
prompts and I'm kind of excited about that. Ooh girl.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Journaling is supposed to be like really good for you.
And every time I like read you know, like a
self care anything, it's like, hey, you know what you
should do? Journal?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah. I journaled every day from about two thousand and
four until the pandemic started.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And then every day and if I missed a day,
I'd go back and I would write what I remember
happened that day every day until about twenty twenty. And
then I just, you know, everybody kind of lost their
mojo in twenty twenty. Yeah, and so I really kind
of stopped, and I went from journaling every day to
maybe twenty times a year.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You know, Yeah, I wish I had the patience to
do it. But I have a paper planner, and I
call that good enough.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Because then I can be like, just save those though, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I save every single time.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I still have like paper planners from like twenty eleven,
so I can see like what I did during the
summer when I was in college and be like I
hung out with my boyfriend today and we got in
an argument.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
See, Okay, that's really interesting. Because my dad also he
didn't really journal, but he had a little pocket diary
about the size of the palm of your hand, and
it would fit in his shirt pocket and he would
write down appointments and phone numbers, and the day I
was born, he wrote, sunborn seven pounds, nine ounces whatever, sunborn.
When Kennedy was assassinated. He said something like President Kennedy assassinated.
(03:01):
So he didn't write details but little things. And I've
got every one of his from like World War Two
up until he died, and so it's like David graduated,
Carl moved to Montana type of thing.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Yeah, you keeping that stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I know you're getting rid of it's still yeah, I'm
not going to throw that away. Yeah, I went.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I also use Instagram stories as kind of like a
journal name.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's what I think about sometimes when people are like
social media so bad, and I agree, but it's like
the modern day journal for a lot of people. Yeah.
I love looking back, Like I feel like I recommended
someone something to someone the other day and I couldn't
remember what it was. And then last night I was
just talking to the guy I was seeing and we
were talking about going to this one candy store and
we both had to go to our Instagram and remember
what it was called.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Right, Yeah, I'll be like, hold on, I can. I
can look that thing up for you. Let me just
go back in my story archive and.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I'll find it quickly. Tell me how you find your
story on archive?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
You go to your profile, so your face on like
the right or the bottom. Right, then you go to
the three lines at the top. Yeah, pop right, and
then you see archive.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Not yet okay, yes, uh huh, hit that.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
And then scroll back so the resolution or not is
it resolution? I don't know a lot of times if
you scroll back super far, like the videos won't be
as good looking as a right.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
But then you can also sort it by calendar as well.
So at the very top of your story's archive, there's
a little thing that has the number nine and then
and then scroll up and then you can see like
you can go back, like it's wild to go back
and like kind of almost quote unquote reminisce about the
pandemic because I can see like what I was posting
during that time.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
And usually when you go in, it'll show you like
this happened like on this day eight years ago. It says, Yeah,
I am outside running with a tank top on. I
don't know what I'm saying. I'm not gonna put the
audio on, but I'm outside running with a tank top
on on January ninth.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Whoa what year?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Degree?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
No, no way, not in January.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You're right, that's not right. I must have said that.
But literally, Okay, anyways, Yeah, it's there, we go.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I didn't. I didn't know what stories were until probably
three ish or so years ago. I didn't know what
stories were because stories doesn't really describe what it really is.
It's a post that goes up for twenty four hours
and then it disappears. Yeah, to me, that doesn't fit
the description of stories, but maybe it does to some people.
(05:31):
So I didn't have any interest in what it was.
And I think probably Fallon told me what stories were.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, And that's kind of honestly all I ever look
at on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I don't scroll.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I just go through the stories.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I'll see. That is the opposite of what I do.
I don't look at when you pop up, I might
tap on your story, but I'll more likely go to
your page and you know, scroll. I know when you're.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Bored, because I'll see that you viewed my story, like
I know that day, Like I think you viewed my
story over the holidays a lot, And I was like,
you must be bored.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, yours, yours are moderately interesting because you do things
like in your kitchen, and it's fun to see the
progress of that my latest story. If you and by
the time you hear this. It might have disappeared. But
I took a gym picture the other day. Yeah, and
I made this giant muscle and I was like, damn,
that looks really impressive. And I'm not the kind of
person to put a picture of me making a muscle
(06:21):
flexing the biceps online because I think it looks totally douchey.
But with like an old guy that you wouldn't expect
to have big arms, I thought it was kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, you showed me the picture yesterday and I was like,
you should post that, and you were all.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Like your idea, wasn't it again?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, and you were like all insecure about it. I
was like, post it. Who cares all about like posting
things that you're proud of? And if people make fun
of you for it, then like that's their own miserable
life that they're making fun of you for something you're
proud of.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah. Yeah, So you know, I did get hit on
by somebody who said, I know you're looking for a
side piece. Is thirty five too old? And so I'm
following her and we're going to meet up at the
roof in Over on Highway fifty five there. Yeah, it
is yeah, all right, here we go with the emails.
Hello everybody, just writing a quick email to respond to
(07:09):
the growing marijuana comment from Jenny. Marijuana surely can be
grown outside. They're grown all over the country. Have you
ever seen the show Ozark? Not saying I know from experience,
but have a great day, everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It did correct myself after saying this, because I wasn't
sure and I looked. I think I was just like
I said on the podcast. I think I was just
thinking in the fact that it used to be illegal,
so you tried to hide it as much as you
can in greenhouses for the longest time.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
She writes a part two, she says, I had to
write in again. Jenny is correct, you can grow it outside,
especially so she listened to you. Correct yourself. You can
grow it outside, especially in warmer temperatures. But it has
happened outside a few times in the north woods of Wisconsin. Here.
Of course, when it snows or whatever. It doesn't always
make it through. But twice we've made it through a
(07:57):
cold winter, which is kind of crazy. So she's grown
some weed outside over the winter.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I used to have a weed tent in my basement
when I was living with someone, so I know what
it's like. My house smell like weed every once in
a while.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well they do with that weed anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I don't know. I think they just like gave a
lot of it away because it is illegal to sell it.
But if you have it legally like you Ken in Minnesota,
now you can give a certain amount away to people.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So the gift that keeps on giving. Hello Katie WDB podcast.
I was listening to the People Are So Kind on
the radio, which is a great segment. I thought i'd
write in about an idea that I'd like to practice
weekly with my kids. We asked the two questions, who
did we help this week? And who helped you? Or
someone by you. This created opportunities for the kids to
(08:45):
see someone in need and recognize others helping them or others.
I found my kids would run back from the school
bus to share. Even before we would officially have a
family discussion. I would ask you, who have you helped
this week? And who has helped you? Huh, okay, nobody
comes to mind, But I do love helping people. I
think that you know. That's like radio DJs will ask
(09:08):
what do you think of this show? What should I
do about this, and they'll write to me or send
me audio and say what do you think of this show?
And I'll be like, oh, well, this is great. You
can maybe work on this and whatever. And I enjoy
helping other people. I think that one thing that honestly
stops me is the ingratitude of so many people. And
we've talked about gratitude before. And if I help somebody
(09:29):
once and they don't act like they appreciate it and
they don't write back, then it's kind of like, Okay,
who have you helped this week?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well, I mean, mine's kind of built in because I
coach a high school speech and debate team, and I
helped obviously my students with their stuff. But yesterday I
had a really nice, like coach moment where I was
helping a kid and we were like figuring out her
speech and like the order it was supposed to go in,
and then once we got to the end, we like
looped it back to what she was talking about at
the beginning so she could kind of see it come
(09:57):
full circle and she went, oh my gosh, I'm I'm
so excited. And that was a really lovely moment for
me as a coach. I love it when the kids
are like excited about it. So I would say that's
how I help, And honestly, like, I don't know about
people helping me, but I have had a migrain like
all week. It's gone now, thank goodness, and knock on
(10:18):
what it won't come back today. But when I go
to my speech team, they or they get my mind
off of it. So I forgot that I had a
migraine for about two and a half hours yesterday. So
that was really nice.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
That was nice. They helped me, Jenny, I would say
that I helped a friend who I grab coffee with yesterday.
They're just kind of going through a rough patch because
they got let go of their job and a big
company layoff in October and they just mentally are not
doing super well.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh yeah, you told me a little bit about that.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
When I went to coffee with them, thinking like it
was going to be like an hour, we ended up
being there for like three hours, and I had a
great time. I genuinely had a great time, but it
was kind of getting to the point where I was like,
em and I really do want to get going. So
I feel like I helped in the sense that like
I stayed longer than I inticed. Page. Yeah, and then
who helped me? I would say that just the person
(11:07):
that I'm seeing. I offered to make food a lot
and when we hang out, and last night he like
helped a ton with like making this soup, and I
was just so appreciative because a lot of times he'll
offer to help and I'll be like no, But last
night I was like not really in the mood to
do as much as I normally do. So I guess
that I can't really think of anything else right now.
(11:27):
I probably have a better example if I.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Thought about it. Continuing on with the email, she said,
I also wanted to let you know it's from Laura.
I was getting my hair done yesterday. While at this
shampoo bowl, I could hear a lady talking about how
she got a knock on her door at seven twenty
am in December and she was one of the people
who were nominated and selected for Christmas Wish. It was
so fun to hear about how her friend nominated her,
(11:51):
the tears that didn't stop flowing, and the blessing you
guys were to her family this Christmas. She said that
they finally had a full tree for Christmas after for
a tough year. I don't know what her story was,
but I do listen regularly to them, and I got
thierry almost every time and was tearing up hearing somebody's feedback.
After this goes back to your word of the year, Dave,
(12:12):
meaningful because we did. What is your word of the year,
And it's like, we all want well, I want meaning,
I know we all do. Thanks for what you do.
Cheers to a great twenty twenty six. Thank you, Laura,
and she's all the way in Pennsylvania. What the fuck?
The f what the fuck? Laura? Explain that one to
me and then we have one more. Taylor writes in
(12:32):
these games from the cards from the game Honey, which
are conversation starters, and we have time for approximately one.
All right, I'll give you a choice here. Tell me
about your experience doing something for the first time. Have
you ever dated someone after they dated one of your friends?
Do you still have any gifts or memorabilia from past relationships.
I'll take the last one. Purging. I found things from
(12:57):
old girlfriends that I treasured. My one of my favorite girlfriends, Kathy,
from when I was twenty two years old. She gave
me a holographic eye key ring. So when you looked
at this key ring, it was a three dimensional eye
cool and it wasn't creepy or spooky. It was like
whoa and holograms were new back then. So I kept
(13:18):
it forever saw it. The other day I threw it away.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't know. I mean, why why I always keep
stuff from old relationships. I'm not gonna lie like I
think because it was a part of my life. It
mattered to me then, so I'm going to keep it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And I was gifted a Michael Courus purse one time
and a wallet like ten years ago, and I still
use that wallet till this day. But I did sell
the purse on Facebook marketplace last year.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, that's a really good question. What have you kept
from past relationships and why? And I think it's okay
to do it. I think that the little mementos of
the of the earlier previous you and the love you share,
there's nothing wrong with that. And that is it for
the Minnesota goodbye. Thank you for the emails. That was
a lot of fun. Ryan Show at KDIWB dot com.

Question to start off the podcast today, Bailey, have a

(07:09):
the growing marijuana comment from Jenny. Marijuana surely can be
grown outside. They're grown all over the country. Have you
ever seen the show Ozark? Not saying I know from experience,
but have a great day, everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
It did correct myself after saying this, because I wasn't
sure and I looked. I think I was just like
I said on the podcast. I think I was just
thinking in the fact that it used to be illegal,
so you tried to hide it as much as you
can in greenhouses for the longest time.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
She writes a part two, she says, I had to
write in again. Jenny is correct, you can grow it outside,
especially so she listened to you. Correct yourself. You can
grow it outside, especially in warmer temperatures. But it has
happened outside a few times in the north woods of Wisconsin. Here.
Of course, when it snows or whatever. It doesn't always
make it through. But twice we've made it through a
(07:57):
cold winter, which is kind of crazy. So she's grown
some weed outside over the winter.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I used to have a weed tent in my basement
when I was living with someone, so I know what
it's like. My house smell like weed every once in
a while.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Well they do with that weed anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
I don't know. I think they just like gave a
lot of it away because it is illegal to sell it.
But if you have it legally like you Ken in Minnesota,
now you can give a certain amount away to people.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So the gift that keeps on giving. Hello Katie WDB podcast.
I was listening to the People Are So Kind on
the radio, which is a great segment. I thought i'd
write in about an idea that I'd like to practice
weekly with my kids. We asked the two questions, who
did we help this week? And who helped you? Or
someone by you. This created opportunities for the kids to
(08:45):
see someone in need and recognize others helping them or others.
I found my kids would run back from the school
bus to share. Even before we would officially have a
family discussion. I would ask you, who have you helped
this week? And who has helped you? Huh, okay, nobody
comes to mind, But I do love helping people. I
think that you know. That's like radio DJs will ask
(09:08):
what do you think of this show? What should I
do about this, and they'll write to me or send
me audio and say what do you think of this show?
And I'll be like, oh, well, this is great. You
can maybe work on this and whatever. And I enjoy
helping other people. I think that one thing that honestly
stops me is the ingratitude of so many people. And
we've talked about gratitude before. And if I help somebody
(09:29):
once and they don't act like they appreciate it and
they don't write back, then it's kind of like, Okay,
who have you helped this week?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Well, I mean, mine's kind of built in because I
coach a high school speech and debate team, and I
helped obviously my students with their stuff. But yesterday I
had a really nice, like coach moment where I was
helping a kid and we were like figuring out her
speech and like the order it was supposed to go in,
and then once we got to the end, we like
looped it back to what she was talking about at
the beginning so she could kind of see it come
(09:57):
full circle and she went, oh my gosh, I'm I'm
so excited. And that was a really lovely moment for
me as a coach. I love it when the kids
are like excited about it. So I would say that's
how I help, And honestly, like, I don't know about
people helping me, but I have had a migrain like
all week. It's gone now, thank goodness, and knock on
(10:18):
what it won't come back today. But when I go
to my speech team, they or they get my mind
off of it. So I forgot that I had a
migraine for about two and a half hours yesterday. So
that was really nice.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
That was nice. They helped me, Jenny, I would say
that I helped a friend who I grab coffee with yesterday.
They're just kind of going through a rough patch because
they got let go of their job and a big
company layoff in October and they just mentally are not
doing super well.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh yeah, you told me a little bit about that.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
When I went to coffee with them, thinking like it
was going to be like an hour, we ended up
being there for like three hours, and I had a
great time. I genuinely had a great time, but it
was kind of getting to the point where I was like,
em and I really do want to get going. So
I feel like I helped in the sense that like
I stayed longer than I inticed. Page. Yeah, and then
who helped me? I would say that just the person
(11:07):
that I'm seeing. I offered to make food a lot
and when we hang out, and last night he like
helped a ton with like making this soup, and I
was just so appreciative because a lot of times he'll
offer to help and I'll be like no, But last
night I was like not really in the mood to
do as much as I normally do. So I guess
that I can't really think of anything else right now.
(11:27):
I probably have a better example if I.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Thought about it. Continuing on with the email, she said,
I also wanted to let you know it's from Laura.
I was getting my hair done yesterday. While at this
shampoo bowl, I could hear a lady talking about how
she got a knock on her door at seven twenty
am in December and she was one of the people
who were nominated and selected for Christmas Wish. It was
so fun to hear about how her friend nominated her,
(11:51):
the tears that didn't stop flowing, and the blessing you
guys were to her family this Christmas. She said that
they finally had a full tree for Christmas after for
a tough year. I don't know what her story was,
but I do listen regularly to them, and I got
thierry almost every time and was tearing up hearing somebody's feedback.
After this goes back to your word of the year, Dave,
(12:12):
meaningful because we did. What is your word of the year,
And it's like, we all want well, I want meaning,
I know we all do. Thanks for what you do.
Cheers to a great twenty twenty six. Thank you, Laura,
and she's all the way in Pennsylvania. What the fuck?
The f what the fuck? Laura? Explain that one to
me and then we have one more. Taylor writes in
(12:32):
these games from the cards from the game Honey, which
are conversation starters, and we have time for approximately one.
All right, I'll give you a choice here. Tell me
about your experience doing something for the first time. Have
you ever dated someone after they dated one of your friends?
Do you still have any gifts or memorabilia from past relationships.
I'll take the last one. Purging. I found things from
(12:57):
old girlfriends that I treasured. My one of my favorite girlfriends, Kathy,
from when I was twenty two years old. She gave
me a holographic eye key ring. So when you looked
at this key ring, it was a three dimensional eye
cool and it wasn't creepy or spooky. It was like
whoa and holograms were new back then. So I kept
(13:18):
it forever saw it. The other day I threw it away.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I don't know. I mean, why why I always keep
stuff from old relationships. I'm not gonna lie like I
think because it was a part of my life. It
mattered to me then, so I'm going to keep it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Okay, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And I was gifted a Michael Courus purse one time
and a wallet like ten years ago, and I still
use that wallet till this day. But I did sell
the purse on Facebook marketplace last year.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, that's a really good question. What have you kept
from past relationships and why? And I think it's okay
to do it. I think that the little mementos of
the of the earlier previous you and the love you share,
there's nothing wrong with that. And that is it for
the Minnesota goodbye. Thank you for the emails. That was
a lot of fun. Ryan Show at KDIWB dot com.
